This is the audio version of the video version encoded by Joe Kusnir.
The generation of his video (yes there were cuts between tracks) is:

Mitsubishi HS-U48 VCR -> ATI Radeon 8500DV All in Wonder -> MPEG-1

The audio encode takes the MPEG-1 and.....:

MPEG-1 -> River Past Audio Converter 5.3 (to WAV) -> FLAC Frontend [level 8]

So the total generation is:

Mitsubishi HS-U48 VCR -> ATI Radeon 8500DV All in Wonder -> MPEG-1 -> River Past
Audio Converter 5.3 (to WAV) -> FLAC Frontend [level 8]

Its a good Gish era acoustic performance, the vocals start off a bit quiet but
reach better levels farther into the recording. If you are interested, there
was another show played this night, at the I-Beam in San Francisco.
Track 1 was remastered in Sound Forge just by raising the volume a little bit.
Tracks 2-6 were remastered in Sound Forge by pasting the left-channel over to
the right, then reduced the volume, and then enhanced the high frequencies, if
you would like to hear the original version of this, pick up the video of it,
it circulates pretty well.
Anyway,
enjoy, spread it, and keep Pumpkins' trading alive.
